Future Roof Metal Roofing — Energy Star & Solar Reflectance Values — frequently asked questions

What is in the Future Roof Energy Star & Solar Reflectance data sheet?

It is the ENERGY STAR product listing for Future Roof Inc., giving the initial solar reflectance, solar reflectance after 3 years, and initial emissivity by color across the Mediterranean Tile, Shake, Shingle, Slate and Spanish Tile profiles. Each row also records the date available on market and the date qualified, supporting cool-roof documentation for specifiers.

What solar reflectance and emittance values do Future Roof colors achieve?

Values vary by color: darker colors such as Black sit around 0.25 initial (0.24 after 3 years), Charcoal and most mid-tones around 0.27–0.29, and lighter options like Weathered Cedar Grey reach about 0.34. Initial emissivity is 0.84–0.85 across the listed colors. These reflectance and emittance figures define the cool-roof performance of each finish.

Are Future Roof products ENERGY STAR qualified for steep-slope use?

Yes — the listed Future Roof metal roofing models are qualified as steep-slope (Steep Slope? = Yes) ENERGY STAR products and are not listed as low-slope. They are intended as sloped residential roof coverings, and the listings show qualification dates around 3/25/2011 for products available on market from 2009 onward.

What warranty period is shown, and does it cover reflectance?

The ENERGY STAR list shows a 40-year warranty period for the Future Roof models. The list carries the standard note that the warranty does not necessarily cover solar reflectance, so reflectance and emittance should be treated as performance data rather than warranty terms; the product warranty is documented separately.

Why does the sheet list reflectance after three years?

ENERGY STAR records the 3-year aged reflectance because a roof's reflectance changes as it weathers and soils. For Future Roof colors the aged values generally settle near 0.24–0.25 for darker colors and around 0.35 for lighter greys, and products may not be cleaned prior to the 3rd-year test, so the aged value reflects untouched real-world weathering.
